A friend of mine had a can full of fuel left right after he sold is most recent diesel and he wanted to give it to me but keep the can - no problem. Ah, but it was red as high school prom punch....."No biggie, I'll just top it off when I get home, that'll dilute it down." Silly me, my inspection sticker expired two weeks after that. During which the mechanic was curious to see under the hood. He looked at the clear (red) pre-filter, looked up at me, chuckled, closed the hood and put the new sticker on my windshield. That was three years ago. Most of them would not have a clue, especially if I had to make an EGR gasket out of sheet steel and I forgot to cut the hole in the middle.
